ABOUT

The Core Model is an Integrated Systems Model that incorporates the best of
Marriage and Family Therapy, Interpersonal Neurobiology, and Adventure Therapy
with issue-driven specialty training in trauma and multiple addictions. It is an
issue-driven model and not a model-driven model, if you will, so we can
customize our approach to each unique client and family. All of this is built on
the foundation of Christian Intimacy Theory; every person has been created by
God, and in the image of God, to love and be loved at a core-to-core level of
intimacy. Addiction is an intimacy disorder according to Patrick Carnes and
other research. People who have deep, quality, rich relationships, in other
words, core-to-core intimacy, don’t develop addictions or are not
relapsing in their addictions.

Therefore, Capstone’s therapy approach targets any area that is
preventing a client from developing a core-to-core level of intimacy with self,
God, family, and friends; that is threatening his life and quality of life; and
that is damaging his life’s potential.

Using the Core Model, we initially focus on the discovery of the core
underpinning issues, what lies beneath, not just the symptoms. From this
discovered information, we develop and implement the therapy plan. The
thoroughness of the Core Model is essential for the most effective and
long-lasting results.

Capstone works with clients who have addictions, as well as those who meet
the criteria for other disorders. However, we do not identify our clients as
“addicts” or “disorders” but instead, as
young men who have hurts and struggles that have resulted in the condition of
having developed an addiction or meeting the criteria for a disorder. Capstone
goes to the core of what is causing these struggles and treats the whole person
in the contexts of his past, present, and future.

Sobriety is a primary goal and works in a synergy with other primary goals:
healing his hurts, filling his inner voids, rebuilding his core to core
relationships, and developing his gifts and self-competency.
Capstone’s goal in using the Core Model is that each young man turns
his life’s direction toward living a life that is healthy, balanced,
and fruitful, even in the presence of an addiction.
